Gays, long neglected in China out of moral concern, are a group that exists and is of major concern to fight against HIV/AIDS, said Chinese Vice Health Minister Wang Longde Wednesday.
At the Aug. 29 to Sept. 1, Beijing Plus Ten meeting commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women, Wang said that the Chinese government cannot fail to admit that gays exist and neglect them as they are very important in checking the spread of AIDS.
